The X server does not redirect a client's own MapWindow, because then
there would be no way to map a window when getting a MapRequest. The
MapWindow would just go around infinitely.

There are a lot of problems with decorating metacity's own windows
from inside metacity; that's why all metacity's dialogs are in another
process.
